Thanks for the compliment Tony. By the way, this is another specimen found in the same place. Could the black bead next to it be the prepuparium? Thank you very much. Alberto Narro attached the following image: [227.94Kb] Edited by Alberto Narro on 20-08-2018 15:19 |

I would call that the puparium. The prepupa is a paler colour. See https://diptera.i...d_id=15635
